|---|---|
| codon (chart) | A chart showing the correspondence between mRNA codons and the amino acids they code for |
| Coevolution | The evolutionary change between interacting species |
| Combustion | The process of burning a fuel in the presence of oxygen to produce heat, light, and carbon dioxide |
| Commensalism | An ecological relationship in which one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped |
| common ancestry | The idea that all organisms share a common evolutionary ancestor |
| Community | All the different populations of organisms that live and interact in a particular area |
| comparative anatomy | The study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species |
| Competition | The interaction between organisms in which they compete for limited resources |
| complete dominance | A genetic phenomenon in which the dominant allele completely masks the effects of the recessive allele in a heterozygote |
| Conservation | The preservation and management of natural resources and ecosystems |
| Constraints | Restrictions or limitations that influence the evolution of organisms |
| Consumers | Organisms that obtain energy by consuming other organisms |
| convergent evolution | The independent evolution of similar features in different species due to similar environmental pressures |
| Criteria | The standards or benchmarks used to judge or evaluate something |
| crossing over | The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis |
| Cytokinesis | The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells during cell division |
| Cytoplasm | The jelly-like substance inside a cell, where organelles are suspended |
| Cytosine | One of the four nitrogenous bases in DNA and RNA, pairs with guanine |
| Cytosol | The fluid portion of the cytoplasm, excluding organelles and other insoluble structures |
| daughter cell | A cell formed by the division of a parent cell |
